Bradbury House is clean and run by friendly staff. The downsides are waiting for staff to attend when buzzed. An hour or more is not uncommon especially in the early morning hours. My wife is bedbound and unable to help herself and, despite promises, no one has yet sat her in the comfy chair in her room. Several times I have been "trapped" in the foyer in trying to exit the building because the reception was unstaffed. Even trying to go from upstairs to downstairs or vice versa is difficult when needing passing staff to assist. Overall not a bad place but the edges need a polish.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind comments about our staff and cleanliness.
We are genuinely sorry to hear about the concerns you have raised regarding staff attending when called, moving to a more comfortable chair and exiting the building.

My Dad has been with you just over 5wks . Have been happy with how he has been looked after .Lovely room ,cosy and comfortable. Most of the staff are friendly and welcoming when I visit .Dad appears to be well cared for .Always clean clothes .He seems to enjoy the food and from what I have seen the food looks good quality .There has been one occasion when I was a bit concerned as there wasn't a carer to be seen in the dining room and several residents wanted to be taken to the bathroom .As soon as a carer appeared it was dealt with but just felt their should be always be somebody around .All in all happy with Bradbury House.

My father is 99 and had to move from his earlier care home since his dementure was gradually worsening. Their approach has been kind, understanding and totally professional from the initial enquiry to admission He has been a resident for over 5 weeks now and has settled in quite well. His dementure does not seem as advanced as most other residents which Dad has noticed, However he does understand why he needs to be there. He says himself that he is well looked after. He has enjoyed the entertainment when it has been provided - in particular the singer and the harpist. If anything he would like more entertainment! Organising his move was very stressful but we are more relaxed now that he seems to have settled in reasonably well.
Dear Richard, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review on your experience at Bradbury House.

After an initial good start in the home, they were not so good at being able to assist when my father developed advanced dementia, considering they advertise as a dementia care/nursing home. Sadly my father was asked to leave due to his behaviour, had the upheaval of having to be moved. He did however, enjoy go on to enjoy his last few months at another nursing home where the staff were amazing. They were also late sending invoices with some not being received until he left in November for care received in August & September despite my request for them.

Dear Kim,Thank you for your review. We were equally disappointed that your father had to move on from the home. As we discussed at the time, we were advised by the hospital team, that your father would be far safer and better suited to live in different setting due to his needs. We therefore have a duty of care, to follow this guidance for compliance and regulation purposes. I can only apologise for the delay in issuing the invoices, at the time we were in a transition period, changing from RBLI to Eleanor Care. Thank you.

My Mother-in-Law arrived at Bradbury House after a short spell in hospital. Unfortunately she was unable to return home and we had to look for a nursing home. After visiting many homes in and around the area we were lucky to visit Bradbury House and there were vacancies. The team at Bradbury House are professional and caring and go over and above board to ensure residents are well cared for. My Mother-in-Laws birthday was celebrated at Bradbury House with singing and birthday cake which made her day. All food is cooked on site and not bought in. I could go on but a short review is always best as its read. I recommend Bradbury House.

At first we were pleasantly surprised with the care my husband was receiving. However, there were a few occasions when I had to ask about personal care especially teeth cleaning was lacking. Unfortunately, my husband was taken into the hospital and was there for 5 weeks. During this time I had no contact from the home enquiring how he was. Then unexpectedly on 30/3/24 my husband passed away. Still no contact expressing condolences. His funeral was held 18/4/24 and 2 night carers attended who I had never met the whole time he was there. (I’m grateful for their attendance but the only reason they knew when the funeral was is because my sister phoned them to inform them) but still no communication from the management, not even a card or phone call. They all knew my husband very well and apparently liked him very much but he had very complex health issues. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of compassion and communication while my husband was in the hospital and when he passed away.
